Re: What would you do if your wife got you arrested…
I like this point. I agree with you RV. But I think it takes time to even realise the sanctity of this point in a marriage. Like I mentioned earlier, the understanding of being each other’s lebaas doesn’t come with the nikkah form; I am telling you from experience that you learn as you go along. And, assuming she has a generally good character and has not done anything to break his trust in the past, I would try to forgive her.
I also agree that this will be difficult for the husband and will take time. He also needs to take some steps to show the severity of her actions and so that it doesn’t happen again. But I wouldn’t go further than that. Especially if he loves her and is happy with her.
